The big night has come to an end. You have danced the night away and you are enjoying the last hurrah of high school. But what happens after the music ends and the lights come on? Time flies when you are having fun and sometimes you do not realize where the time goes. Four hours can seem like a New York minute when you are doing something fun.

There is nothing better for a parent than knowing that their child is safe for the whole night, and a Lock In is the perfect solution. A school organization can create a variety of activities in the school so that the seniors have their own massive party, taking over the school. For example, there can be an obstacle course and carnival games in the gym, endless food in the cafeteria, and movies in the auditorium.
